Biblical spirituality is not a spirituality of cold silence; it is a spirituality of passionate petition.

If we are engaged with the world around us, we will care about that world. We will be passionate about people’s needs, our holiness, and God’s glory.

We will not be still in prayer. We will cry out for mercy with a holy violence. If we are silent, it will be because in our distress, words have failed us.

This is the spirituality of the psalms—a spirituality in which all of our emotions are engaged.

Is your praying passionate or plastic?
